Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has recently admitted to how proud he is of daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who currently serves as the White House press secretary.

Sanders, who had a history of working on both her father’s presidential bid as well as Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, had held her first White House press briefing back in May while standing in for Sean Spicer.

While leaving the Los Angeles International Airport, a TMZ reporter spoke to Huckabee on whether or not he thought Sanders was doing a good job in her current role.

Huckabee gave an answer suggestive of any proud father.

“So she’s not to be messed with?” the reporter asked, pressing the governor on if he believes his daughter is capable of defending herself.

“I think she’s doing great at it,” Huckabee said. “And the most important thing is that the president thinks she’s doing great. And that’s what matters.”

Huckabee also acknowledged that being the White House press secretary is a very tough job, but said he believes his daughter is doing a great job representing the Trump administration.

“It’s a tough job, sure,” Huckabee said. “I think she’s doing great.”

“She’s a good kid. She’s tough,” he added.

The reporter asked Huckabee if he believed Sanders had brought more stability to the administration, perhaps a subtle jab at former press secretary Spicer, who resigned in July.
